About Bilbo’s Pizza

Bilbo’s started in 1976 by John Hindman and Charlie Konett. We had been friends in college and often discussed going into some kind of business together. Bilbo’s grew out of our interest in and love for the famous Tolkien trilogy chronicling the adventures of Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, Wizards and all manner of interesting characters. We chose the name Bilbo’s because of the enduring nature of the character by that name and the tree logo because of the singular and unusual (to Hobbits) existence of the Mallorn tree in Hobbiton that became the centerpiece for the grand birthday party that Bilbo threw for himself that signaled the beginning of the adventure of the War of the Ring.
